A golf cup has an inside diameter of approximately __ inches.

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 6

Answer: (B)

Golf holes are standardized to a specific inner diameter so the game remains fair and consistent. The official size is 4.25 inches across, which is the inside diameter of the cup. When rounded for practicality, that becomes about 4 inches. So the option that’s closest to this standard is the one labeled around 4 inches. A hole that is 3 inches would be too small for the ball to consistently drop through, while a hole of 5 or 6 inches would be much larger than the standard and would change the challenge of putting. Therefore, approximately 4 inches is the best answer.
